Description

Spenser would have traveled through or around the Bog of Allen, the largest in Ireland and a noted problem for soldiers; the Bog dominates the Irish midlands to the west of Dublin. Spenser compares the forces besieging the Castle of Alma to insects that torment travelers on the Bog in the FQ II.ix.16. (Judson, 95)
